About Us

Growing deeper. Reaching wider. Serving together.

We have a heart to be a place of welcome.

Rotorua Baptist Church has been part of this city for over 80 years. We are a contemporary church for all ages — passionate about Jesus and committed to growing in faith together.

We love to worship the one true God, guided by the Bible and the Holy Spirit. Each of us is on a journey — learning, growing in authenticity, and discovering how to use our gifts to serve God and others.

We are real about life. We care deeply for one another and for our community. We believe in the power of prayer. We carry a heart for mission — locally and globally.

We seek to journey with people, bringing hope, freedom, courage, and growth through practical, emotional, and spiritual support.

We are part of the Baptist Churches of New Zealand.

Our Vision

Growing deeper. Reaching wider. Serving together.

This vision shapes everything we do.
We long to grow deeper in our love for Jesus.
To reach wider into our community and world.
And to serve together with faith, generosity, and compassion.

We are excited about what God is doing among us and how He will continue to lead us.

If you would like to share your hopes or explore how you can be involved, we would love to talk with you.
